Obsolete ...

 ... and utterly defeated. How could this be? Long explanation is coming. 

This Is Who ...

 ... combined West supports. And that is why there is nothing to discuss with it. 

The fact that the US supports them and turns the blind eye to it, merely shows the nature of modern Washington D.C. and why the US debased itself and continues to do so while proclaiming lofty goals. But then again. Nobody in Russia believes the West. In fact, Russian hatred of the West is now in the open and, as I repeat ad nauseam, Russians are very wrong people to fuck with. 

Now working on this new title:

Even when summarizing in the first chapters delusions of the military grandeur by the US and especially as it constantly tries to parallel itself to ancient Rome--audacity born out of ignorance--one has to diagnose the US "intellectual" elite as uncultured, primitive and incompetent. Alexis de Tocqueville was right when describing American "garrulous patriotism" which today turned into caricature. Jason Arday, while nominally British, is an Exhibit A and a logical conclusion of this class' degeneracy. 

Practically Whole Western "Humanities" Field ...

... including Cambridge University and the rest of the "prestigious" universities in the US are academic frauds and degree mills. Cambridge always had only one thing which was admirable--physics and math department. The rest of it, especially in the last 30 or so years is a catastrophe. 

Modern Western so called "academe" is primarily a collection of brainwashed ideologues--Michael McFaul (McFail) is an exhibit A of a credentialed academic fraud--whose only task is to sublimate their idiotic views about the world outside and complexes with traumas into pseudo academic courses which require no intellect nor serious academic background. This is the international community of useless people with skills which would take a person with IQ above room temperature and a free time about a month of rigorous internet search and visiting some university library to get ready to write Ph.D. thesis. These are precisely the types of people who contributed mightily to a complete decomposition of the combined West--intellectual, moral, scientific, military and industrial. 

Ah, more))

Open Thread.

 Go at it. 

Macabre Dreams ...

 ... scratch a German ... well, you know. Scratch a European ...

US "Intelligence" Community ...

 ... distinguished itself primarily with creation of fairy tales (aka narratives) and utter military incompetency. 

Russia plans to inflict maximum damage on Kyiv's energy sector by August 24 without waiting for autumn, Ukrainian media reported, citing the US intelligence community. It is reported that the Russian Army can even use a strategic reserve of ballistic missiles for strikes in order to achieve the maximum effect by the celebration of Independence Day.

This is a hallmark of the US military "intel" which is built around US military psyche like trying to tie some operations by Russian military to some "significant" date--a post traumatic addiction to Soviet dissidents' BS about Red Army doing things (like liberation of Kiev in 1943). This all is a result of historic and operational-strategic illiteracy, like applying fairy tales from WW II to modern warfare. 

Secondly, most of them will not understand a) what strategic reserves are, b) that Russia produces the number of long-range (stand-off) weapons of ALL kinds, INCLUDING quasi-ballistic Iskanders, in volumes which are order (now orders) of magnitude larger than what the US can produce, c) that in terms of latest iterations of UAVs of a long-range class such as Geraniums and Banderols (this is in effect a light cruise missile) reaching one thousand daily (like in 24 hours)--these numbers are beyond their grasp. I mean it literally--no US military and intel professional ever dealt with such production and casualties numbers ever, insofar as the last half-a-century goes. 

In fact, Russia's real military and intel professionals when making operational and strategic level assessments of the US war-making and war-fighting capability smile ironically. 

In the end, it was Pentagon and collection of its chihuahuas from UK, Germany, France et al who managed to kill almost 3 million of 404 males and resorted, naturally, to terrorism and war crimes. We are observing a train wreck in progress. 

Meanwhile, Russian Army liberated Western part of Malaya Tockmachka. 

The storm of Orekhov has commenced. 

You can see yourself where it is all going. 

In related news, they are correct ...

Nobody will be able to do anything about it. Nobody will even try. 

Well, It Is Not ...

 ... for off-ramp for Trump or the US, it is for off-ramp for Pentagon geniuses who now are soiling themselves trying to calculate the probability of the wrecking ball of the blame for the FUBAR everywhere, from 404 to Iran, hitting them on their heads, with the proverbial rolling after that. 

Over the last few weeks, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Gen. Dan Caine has privately made clear to other top Trump advisers that the US needs to find an off-ramp from the war with Iran — because the military options on the table to escalate the conflict could backfire and airpower alone is unlikely to achieve President Donald Trump’s stated objectives, according to three sources familiar with the matter. “Caine is looking for an off ramp,” one of the sources said bluntly. Caine is not alone in his view that the war has reached a crossroads. He has discussed concerns about the military options for escalating the conflict and raised the prospect of finding an off-ramp from the war with other key Cabinet officials, including CIA Director John Ratcliffe, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Vice President JD Vance, two of the sources said. The top US general has recently side-barred with some of those key, like-minded Trump advisers in an effort to facilitate interagency coordination and ensure they are on the same page ahead of meetings with the president. The aim has been to make clear the limitations and pitfalls of the available military options, including those that do not involve putting US boots on the ground, the sources said. “I think it is just his way of protecting the military,” one of the sources told CNN, referring to Caine’s discussions with other top national security officials within Trump’s cabinet about the Iran war.

They are protecting their behinds because none of them had courage and integrity to resign in protest to the insanity Trump and his Israeli handlers planned. And, of course, we all recall how Trump promised to end the war in 404 "in 24 hours". It is all about who is going to be left holding the bag with excrement. Bunch of losers and war criminals. 

Plans For the Weekend ...

 ... no, really)) 

For military porn--here is SU-35 doing what SU-35 does. 

Never forget, Russian Air Force performed dismally and is grounded)) 

"Tactical" Nukes ...

... are not going to help. All of it is an admission of being a weak conventional force. Russia went through it in 1990s but she always had mechanism for recovery, the US does not. Colby got the whiff of that--too bad he will not understand, neither will Pentagon generals, what real war is. 

US Lack of "Intel" ...

 ... and their "assessments" are done only for the propaganda reasons. Same as Pentagon's. That is why the US is no good at real war. So, here we have a new pile of bovine excrement.

Recent US intelligence assessments indicate Russian President Vladimir Putin could try to test NATO’s resolve by launching a limited attack on an allied country within the next few years, according to three sources familiar with those reports. The intelligence assessments outline several possible scenarios for Russian escalation, ranging from a cyberattack to a small-scale incursion intended to challenge NATO’s unity and commitment to Article 5, which states that an attack on one member is an attack on all, without necessarily crossing the threshold for an allied response, the sources said. While how and when Putin might do so remains an open question, one of the sources said he is most likely to escalate in some way by targeting the Baltics or Poland. The Wall Street Journal first reported on the recent assessments. US and NATO officials believe Putin may choose to escalate against NATO if he is unable to secure a face-saving off-ramp to the war with Ukraine, the sources added, noting the Russian president’s window for choosing his next course of action spans between now and the next few years.

Yes, defeating NATO is now called securing "a face-saving-off-ramp". Keep in mind that not only NATO is a paper tiger, but it is a collection of military-intel mediocrities who also happened to be sore losers. The decline is so dramatic, not just in TOE terms, US Armed Forces is a force from 1990s, that is utterly obsolete, that there is no even moral metric left anymore. US Army is being turned into Israeli Army and that's about the level at which it will reside. Per "attack" on NATO "country". Well, Europe will die out on its own--let it rot. "Small-scale incursion"--if this will come, those amateurs in the US "intel" should know that it will become a very large-scale immediately and Brussels, Rammstein and Berlin will cease to exist. But you cannot explain it to them. 

Air-to-Air ...

 ... which is air defense. 

This is to remind you that drone warfare evolves and I posted numbers before--despite some dramatic videos, the actual success rate of 404 UAVs is about 4%. It declined since. Drone against drone is now a normal occurrence and Russia is the first and so far the only country which introduced a new service--Troops of the Unmanned Systems--and established military 5 year academy specifically for educating officer corps for this type of the warfare. Obviously, Russian Navy will have a say on that, because they will argue (justifiably) that surface and underwater drones are a whole other thing altogether. They are. 

Meanwhile, artillery and air force remain the most productive means of fire delivery. 

And same applies to tanks. 

If True, This Is A Decomposition ...

... of the force. I want to introduce a caveat immediately--there are occasions when officer mess hall eats differently from the rest of the crew. Special occasions, such as officers' birthdays, visits by important guests--the galley may cook a special meal--and something special officers bring onboard bought with their own money. The rest of the time--officers eat same food as their subordinates. Here is what Larry reports: 

During a conversation with the Marine’s mother, I mentioned the emails I had received from the sailor’s mom. The Marine mother, who does not know the lady who had sent me the emails, told me her son had the same experience, i.e., lousy chow and big weight loss. Pete Hegseth is calling these parents liars.

According to Ms. Mayes-Osterman: Both the Navy and Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth denied reports of food problems. “My team confirmed the logistics stats for the Lincoln & Tripoli,” Hegseth said in a post on X. “Both have 30+ days of Class I supplies (food) on board. NavCent monitors this everyday, for every ship. Our sailors deserve — and receive — the best.” 

The only liar is Hegseth. He reportedly visited one of the ships and had a splendid meal in the Officer’s Mess. He did not eat in the dining facility for the enlisted personnel. That is a failure of leadership. My dogs eat better than these sailors and Marines. This is not just a problem on the USS Tripoli and USS Boxer. Similar complaints came from sailors posted to the USS Abraham Lincoln. The officers on board these ships have a duty and obligation to ensure their troops are properly fed. In theory, officers are supposed to eat last. But that is not the reality on board the ships conducting war missions off the coast of Iran.

Evidently Pete Hegseth thinks that his tour in Afghanistan and career of media personality make him a very special guest who can bypass galley realities of the ships on station and accept his great meal as a confirmation of everything being rosy with feeding the personnel. Of course, any deployment does have an effect on the weight, but if it is the "big weight loss"--this is more than just bad food or effects of protracted deployment, this means NOT ENOUGH food. 

Evidently the problem with feeding the personnel on these deployed ships persists. 

Well, deodorant should be the least of the concerns there. Food, water for showers and laundry, and functioning toilets should be. That's fundamental for deployment and the morale. What we observe, however, is a sheer incompetence on part of Trump Administration (no surprise here) and US military. This is a third world. This is also inadmissible. It has two layers to it, the first one, of course, is that the US shouldn't be there in the first place, the second--who allows these conditions to persist? As Stalin used to say--each problem always has a name. 

Larry Wilkerson Talked ...

 ... to the right person in Pentagon. 

He talks about this visit in June 2024. 

Obviously USNI headline is somewhat misleading.  

Russian Nuclear Sub, Frigate with Long Range Land Attack Missiles Operating Off East Coast

These are not just land attack missiles which, of course, matter. These are 3M22 Zircons which are carried by Gorshkov-class frigates which matter the most. Of course, they are capable of land attack too. Here is a reminder what Zircon is.

But these are anti-shipping missiles which can penetrate any even super-pooper AD, which the US Navy doesn't have. Actually Zircon's is up to M=10 and the range of 1,500 km. At least somebody understands in Pentagon. 

Nima and Me ...

 ... live in 1 hr. 20 minutes. 

Yes, Now It Is Too Much ...

 ... winning and turning the tables. 

The intelligence-sharing relationship between the U.S. and Ukraine has bounced back to previous highs, according to long-time Ukraine watchers — a welcome boost during a critical window of opportunity for the Ukrainian war effort. Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.), the intelligence committee’s ranking member and a longtime proponent of more U.S. assistance to Ukraine, told POLITICO he sees evidence of an improved intel-sharing agreement — and believes it’s helped Kyiv gain an advantage in Moscow’s four-year-long war.

Moreover, the advantage is so huge, that ...

Republican Sens. John Cornyn (R-Texas), another member of the intel committee, and Roger Wicker (R-Miss.), who chairs the Senate Armed Services Committee, agreed that intel-sharing between the U.S. and Ukraine has increased at a moment of strategic importance. “It sure seems like that,” Cornyn said. “Everybody loves a winner and looks like Ukraine has turned the tide.”

Fact is, these operations should be taught in the US Army War College, because that's the cutting edge of war fighting known only to US military and US senators.  Keep in mind, there are still people in the US who strongly believe that the US was triumphant in Vietnam and Afghanistan. It also defeated Third Reich single-handedly. 

Civilian Warehouses In 404 ...

... have this funny propensity--each time they are hit, they begin to detonate. What a mystery!

I am wrecking my brain here trying to figure out why West-supplied baby food, diapers, toys are so violently explosive. Obviously a low quality product, right? I would be also very cautious around toilet paper from Germany or France--keep an eye (if you can--you are a superman) on your ass. In both senses, it may explode and not from the toilet paper only, if you know what I mean.

France Is A Declining ...

 ... second-rate power and nation, which is existential threat to Russia and Russian people and she should be allowed to decompose and eventually break apart. Zakharova is too ... diplomatic here describing the favorite French pervert and coward they elected twice. 

MOSCOW, August 5. /TASS/. French President Emmanuel Macron, calling for increased pressure on Russia, actually commands the Kyiv regime to commit terrorist attacks against civilians. This was stated by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, commenting on the statement of the French president. The diplomat drew attention to Macron's words that "the EU and its partners will continue to increase pressure on Russia and will not succumb to fatigue and intimidation."

France is a degenerate country and it has no problems with terrorism and its own fake history of the XX century. France's armed forces are a joke and France's essence is demonstrated here:

More:

Later they invented the story that they acted like this because Allies bombed their cities. So, they expected the war in 1944 to be without bombing, shelling and destruction. Of course, they lived just fine under Nazis. They may counter with Oradour atrocity, but it was one of a very few. So, expecting anything else from the nation which venerates perverts, pedos and is fine being turned into shithole, is really naive. Nations deserve governments they elect. They deserve fate they choose. France made her choice. 

Russia Is Losing (c).

This is so obvious. When civilization begins to openly lie through what it views as an "expert class", which it is not--that's the end. 

A Bit Too Loud ...

 ... for regular cluster munitions. 

Unless the sound from them coincided with another much larger explosion. Doesn't matter, really. Kiev has no air defense anymore. Neither does NATO which has been thoroughly demilitarized 

The "Art" We ...

 ... deserve. Enshittification of culture continues. Sure, we all know who DJT is--narcissistic BSer and much-much more. But this Canadian "artist", she doesn't even understand that "painting" Trump's portrait with cow's shit, she automatically has become, and you guessed it--a shitty artist. 

Well, British built their huts during middle ages out of cow's dung and dry grass. But they needed to survive and hide from elements. It was the matter of life and death. For this "artist" it is the matter of trash and ... more trash. 

Yes. Responsible Citizens ...

 ... who are armed save lives. Jordan is a hero. RIP to those killed by that nutjob. 

They Cope Hard ...

 ... really hard. Morning headlines are filled with doom and gloom for Russia. Harry Kazianis, an infoshyster and a mediawhore, who collected around himself the crowd of the same incompetent BSers like he is, provides the tribune in his so called National Security Journal, where nobody has any real serious background in real security, to these "deep thinkers". 

Russia lost more ground than it gained this spring for the first time in years, and a report says Putin plans a winter ‘hail Mary’

This drivel, including statements like these: 

But now, Russia appears to have embraced another form of attack: Striking Ukrainian civilians as they fill up at gas stations.

Is written by an admirer of 404 Nazis and supporter of terrorism: 

Stephen Silver is an award-winning journalist, essayist, and film critic, and contributor to the Philadelphia Inquirer, the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, Broad Street Review, and Splice Today. The co-founder of the Philadelphia Film Critics Circle, Stephen lives in suburban Philadelphia with his wife and two sons. For over a decade, Stephen has authored thousands of articles that focus on politics, national security, technology, and the economy.

Average US journo in legacy media is a war criminal and Silver is an exhibit A, not to mention the fact that he wouldn't know a first thing about warfare. But judging by his hysterical writing, he is upset and tries to cope, including by spewing BS about SMO, because the reality of 404 and NATO is grim. And, of course, there is losing of ground but not by Russia. 

Just to demonstrate one of many details about SMO, today:

The Russian Aerospace Forces launched a pinpoint strike on the "underground city" in the village of Khoten, Sumy region. A carefully hidden facility of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which Western curators designed as an impregnable bastion, has turned into a mass grave.

One of the classic 404 strongpoints, or rather underground positions, constructed under the supervision by "experts" from UK, France and Germany. By different estimates--many hundreds of KIAs and many hundreds of wounded in this single strike. Elsewhere Russian Army continues to gain ground and liberate town after town (today it is Baksheevka) and the movement is relentless. So, they all try to cope by inventing something which doesn't exist in reality, they support any terrorist and Nazi from either 404 or their own countries, where war criminals occupy high political and military offices. They are the trash of history who are on the verge of being disposed into the dustbin of history. Let them suffer. 

Aah, No!

 Not 12 years. And not "half". 

It will take NATO about 12 years to approach at least half the level of the Russian Armed Forces in terms of equipment and combat capabilities. This was stated by the former Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and Ambassador of Ukraine to the UK Valery Zaluzhny. "It will take NATO about 12 years to equal at least half the level of the Russian Armed Forces," Zaluzhny said at a general meeting of Ukrainian ambassadors in Kyiv, where Euro-Atlantic integration was discussed.

Critical capabilities such as C2, stand-off weapons, air-defense, strategic nuclear forces, combat armor et al will not be closed either in 12 or 20 years. In terms of combat experience and combined arms operations, well ... cannot see it at all. Of course, I can always be accused of bias or Russian rah-rah, but I was warning combined West against committing suicide by cop for nearly two decades. They didn't listen. 

And here is a very good analogy in ... football. It is only 8 minutes long but it is totally applicable. 

You cannot change the DNA in some well-established culture, any attempt will fail with catastrophic results, e.g. Germany National Team. This is the thing which US academe and military still cannot understand. You cannot make US a great land power. It is impossible, even if you run all of the US officer corps through Russian military academies and the Academy of General Staff. So much more than just some set of military skills comes into this. As Russians joke, which is true to a large degree--Russia as a country is one huge military academy attached to one huge military-industrial plan. That's the root system supplemented with an enormous historic experience of the land warfare. 

Do they even know what a nightmare was Eastern Front in WW I? 

Yep, no idea. This motif is present in Randy and mine discussion on Friday. 

Enjoy, if you will. 

Banality Of Evil.

They will not be able to whitewash the "American Way of War". 

It Is Just the Warmup.

They cannot even hide this anymore. Too late as ABC reports: 'The damage is enormous': Ukraine grapples with record-breaking Russian strikes:  

Russia set new wartime records for the rate and scale of its missile strikes on Ukrainian cities in July, according to data published by the Ukrainian air force and analyzed by ABC News, as the Ukrainian government accelerated its efforts to patch well-publicized gaps in its aerial defensive umbrella. Across July, Russia launched a total of 381 missiles of all types into Ukraine, the air force in Kyiv said, at a rate of just over 12 per day -- setting new wartime records for the overall number and rate of missiles launched into the country. The data also indicated that missiles have become a more prominent element of Russia's nightly -- and sometimes also daytime -- combined strikes, which are largely comprised of drones. In July, though, the proportion of Russian missiles in the overall munition count increased to a record high of just over 7%, according to Ukrainian air force data analyzed by ABC News.

ABC and its "military analysts" can "analyze" shit because they still buy the BS fed to them by 404. But even this picture shows that their narratives created by amateurs in Pentagon and CIA begin to fall apart. Even if to accept these numbers of missiles (which are well below the actual numbers)--this is the indication of Russia's enormous (order of magnitude) lead over NATO in production of stand-off high precisions weapons. Most of all, huge portion of those are supersonic and hypersonic weapons--technologies beyond NATO's grasp. 

But other question emerges, until now all these "experts" have been saying that NATO AD provided to 404 was extremely effective (intercepting 146% of Russian missiles), yet--here we are, "the damage is enormous". Well, it has very little with West's AD systems which are at best mediocre, at worst--useless. It is in the fact that Russia is set to wrap up not only 404--this is the decomposing corpse of the nation, but with the West because Russia sees no redeeming qualities in it. Just pure, distilled evil.  

About the "Big Picture".

Scott nails it. I have been at this thesis for almost two decades. 

The US has no experts in Russia--not in CIA, not in Academe, not in Pentagon, not is State Department. It is the result of an overall decline always second rate US intellectual class and confirmation bias. In case of, say, late Brzezinski--also a result of personal vendetta by a mediocrity reaching a serious government post. 

The US empire was sliding towards the abyss for a while, and indicators of this collapse warrant to be revisited in light of a new information becoming available with each passing day. Meanwhile, the US military will find, yet again, the excuse that it is strictly 404 thing, while, of course, this is the "American Way of War"--killing civilians. 

Children, again. Pure terrorism--this is what they do, kill civilians, children. This is Gelendzhik. My today's video is titled Banality of Evil. Washington and Brussels will never whitewash themselves. Russians view the West as evil. Rightly so. A few exceptions of people of morality, honor and integrity merely confirm this fact. 

He Has a Point ...

 ... because pretty much most of Euro so called "elite" qualify for being charged with infringing on sovereignty of Euro nations, constant and consistent violation of human rights and the last, but not least--practically all of them are war criminals and some are criminals against humanity. So, when Turtiainen says this: 

MOSCOW, Aug 2 - RIA Novosti. Today, the Finnish elite wants a war with Russia in order to evade responsibility for its failures in the country's policy, Ano Turtiainen, a former member of the Finnish parliament, founder of the Power Belongs to the People party, told RIA Novosti. "Everything related to EU, joining the NATO- all this was done illegally, bypassing the Constitution... Now the Finnish elite is afraid that they will have to answer for all this, and therefore they even want a war (with Russia - ed.) in order to evade responsibility with it," said Turtiainen, who moved to Russia.

He describes pretty much the whole West with its military-industrial-government-media complex. As I state non-stop--most in NATO top brass don't understand that they carried out criminal orders, which originated in D.C. They erased Ukraine, turned it into 404, killed 3 million of her soldiers, killed Russian civilians and paraded themselves as incompetent cowards capable only of PR and atrocity. Hi Tech atrocity, they think. Now, suddenly, they find themselves in a position when military fairy tales do not work and the only instrument they have left is ...

The deadly bombing at a central Moscow restaurant bears all the hallmarks of terrorism because it was apparently intended to inflict mass casualties and spread fear among civilians, former Pentagon analyst Michael Maloof has told RT. Three people were killed and 21 wounded when an improvised explosive device detonated outside the Balzi Rossi restaurant near Kudrinskaya Square on Saturday evening, according to Russian officials. An unidentified woman allegedly attempted to carry the device into the establishment but was stopped at the entrance by a security guard. “If it weren’t for that guard, who was unfortunately killed, there probably could have been a mass slaughter in that restaurant and in the surrounding area,” Maloof said. The former US Defense Department analyst argued that the location and timing of the bombing suggested that the perpetrators sought to cause maximum harm. The explosion occurred on a warm Saturday evening in a busy area of central Moscow near the Moscow Zoo, shortly before a nighttime cycling event was due to take place.

The number of slayed Russian civilians from Bucha to Kursk to schools, colleges, civilian busses et al is now in thousands. Well, they will begin now to learn that hiding behind backs of their best proxy guarantees absolutely nothing. But then again, their "strategists" still cannot wrap their feeble brains around the metaphysical nature of the conflict decomposing West unleashed. They are beginning to learn now. 

Meanwhile--404 cannot hide anyone and anything anywhere. Fuel? Nope. 

Average journo and member from  editorial boards of ANY mainstream Western media, including their so called "military experts" can and should be charged, even if in absentia, as war criminals indistinguishable from the likes of Rosenberg and Goebbels. 

All of them without exception are people without morals and humanity in them, period. 

This Doesn't Bring Me ...

... any joy--because each time something like this gets posted I have to go to DJT's Truth Social account to check if I am fucking dreaming!!! No, I am not--and that's what makes it so horrible. 

Everything is being reduced to the level of a cheap Las Vegas cosplay away from the strip. 

Yes, and $4.95 steak and lobster. I know, I know--in other, alternative universe. Evidently humiliating oneself and the country is now a thing. 

Terrorism Is the Weapon ...

... of the weak. Militarily combined West is a paper-tiger, but they use 404 to the last mean it is available for them--terrorism. Terrorist act in Moscow. Guests in the restaurant in Moscow are killed and maimed. Only the work of the guard prevented the courier from entering the main hall with "present" which was remotely detonated. 

Here is the partial list:

— Nikita P., 30 — clinical death;

— Maria P., 25 — open traumatic brain injury;

— Elena B., 57 — wounds to the lower leg and buttocks;

— Yulia V., 30 — multiple wounds to the chest and abdomen;

— Galina V., 42 — penetrating abdominal wound;

— Alexander A., ​​24 — laceration to the thigh;

— Evdokia S., 20 — closed traumatic brain injury, thermal burn;

— Lyudmila V., 49 — blast injury to the foot;

— Elena O. D., 51 — closed traumatic brain injury, concussion;

— Daniil P., 27.

They are high-fiving themselves in CIA and MI6. They killed Russians. They know--the end is here. They will continue with terrorism. 

3rd Grade Math.

 Admiral Montgomery.

They Really Wanted It.

But that is just the warmup. 

Or this:

You may ask--Pavlograd? Sure, ammo depots hidden in civilian warehouses is nothing new. And they should be destroyed. Here is Pavlograd on the map:

It is a short distance from Dnepropetrovsk. But it is also a critical supply hub to Slavyansk-Kramatorsk Festung, which NATO so carefully built for the last 10 years.

There is very little after Slavyansk and Kramatorsk on the way to Pavlograd and, consequently, left bank of Dnepr. Medvedev was pretty explicit in describing the situation: 

KOKOSHKINO (Tver region), July 30 — RIA Novosti. Russia is now at a very important point in the completion of the special military operation, said Dmitry Medvedev, chairman of the United Russia party, Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council.

See highlighted in yellow? I talk also about the 3rd grade math in my today's video. 

Madrid Is Beautiful ...

 ... in summer. They say it is Madrid. This might as well be Paris or Rome. 

And you all know by now what is happening in Ceuta. Here it is. 

In Spain they voted for that. This is civilization in a process of decomposition and it cannot be changed. In France it cannot be changed because a huge portion of French population is like that, but much of it was born in France and you can do nothing about it--they will vote for globalists. Euro militaries are emasculated and impotent and they cannot save their countries. Euromales have been also emasculated and care only about sports. 

Now, from the other fronts so to speak. 

The real number of Ukrainian servicemen out of action significantly exceeds the official statements of Kyiv, TASS reports. The Russian security forces noted that the statistics take into account both the killed and the seriously injured. ... "Zelensky again estimated the losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine at 50 thousand people. He made the corresponding statement in an interview with Fox News. Recall that the real figure, according to various estimates, has long exceeded 1 million people and today is up to 3 million people, including seriously wounded, "said the agency's interlocutor.

So, you see--this is how Pentagon generals "fight"--they don't know any other way.  As Gevorg Mirzoyan concludes (correctly) what is happening right now with Trump and Iran, where the US is stuck like that proverbial porn actress in a couch or a dryer, if you know what I mean, and why US cannot leave, is this:

Yes, it will be a humiliating defeat – but hardly less humiliating than after Afghanistan and even more so Vietnam. Yes, the value of the United States as an ally for the Middle Eastern monarchies will fall, but even after that, they will not look for any alternatives. Yes, Iran will remain nuclear – but it will be nuclear anyway. Yes, the departure will be a blow to Trump's rating - but if the US president, for example, is able to seize Cuba before the midterm elections, then he will win back all the rating losses. After all, for the American population, the capture of the Island of Freedom is much more important than some Middle Eastern stories. However, Trump dismisses this pragmatism. Not because he is stupid or stubborn, but because there is much more at stake in the Iranian campaign now than his personal status or even the Iranian atom. The stake in this campaign is the entire Western-centric world order. In the lid of the coffin, in which Iran is now hammering the third nail - after two Russian ones.

The fate of human civilization is at stake. The fate of combined West is sealed.

She received her MA in national security and strategic studies from the US Naval War College and graduated with highest distinction from its College of Naval Command and Staff, receiving the Director’s Award for academic excellence. She earned her BA in history and political science from Ashland University in Ohio, was an Ashbrook Scholar, and currently serves as a member of the University's Board of Trustees.

In other words, she is a product and an exhibit A of US military degree mills where "strategery" is taught by such specimen as Sarah Paine and the whole thing is built around confabulated military history and operational data which even Hans Christian Andersen wouldn't use in his fairy tales. Defense and Strategic Studies, whatever passes under this title in the US, for decades have produced people, including top military brass, who wouldn't be able to fight their way out of wet paper bag. So, what's left? Correct--BS. And that's what Heinrichs delivers with flair and panache. Ask this "doctor" about operations and how they are planned in modern technological paradigm. Per nuclear deterrence she "teaches"--LOL)) She will not be able to make a connection between serial production of S-500 and 550 and US nuclear credibility, but what do I know. Rephrasing Stalin--I do not have other strategists for you(c). A freak show, really. 

It Was A Very Active Night ...

... in 404, if you know what I mean. Lvov, Kiev, Chernovtsy--you name it. Geraniums, Iskanders, X-101s, Zircons. The works. 

For some reason they closed the access to bomb-shelter (metro station likely) and the crowd was not happy. 

Meanwhile, France just lost the whole town Le Porge (that what is reported)--gone. Burned to ashes. 

My heart breaks for people there. 

GRAB Money and Run.

 Or how desperation looks like. 

Egyptian Port Damietta ...

 ... and the American LNG vessel (used as storage) is hit. 

Meanwhile battle for Slavyansk accelerated. Here is Nikolaevka. 

You see what is going on?

That is why Russia "is losing war" today especially badly. They know they lie, that is why it makes even worse for them--terrorists, war-mongers and losers, capable only of PR. After Slavyansk--it is a straight road to Pavlograd and Dnepropetrovsk. 

Nima and Me.

 Live in 10 minutes. 

It Is a Funny Sketch ...

 ... but creators of it are very light on history. 

20 millions, really? How about USSR alone lost 27. But here is another issue. 

This is Private Semen Konstantinovich Hitler (Hitler in Russian is Gitler).

From a Jewish family. Fought heroically (was a machine gunner), was awarded Medal for Valor. KIA in 1942 during defense of Sevastopol. Obviously, with the name like this he was known and still is known, as many heroes of that war. It is not the name, it is who bears it that matters.
